Senator Clinton is planning to use a speech to moderate Democrats this morning to showcase a set of domestic policy proposals that could form the backbone of her presidential campaign platform in 2008.
Mrs. Clinton will outline plans for education, retirement security, and health care as part of an "American Dream Initiative," designed to address Americans' concerns about their place in the fast-changing world economy.
The program is the first major product of Mrs. Clinton's association with a centrist group that helped her husband win the presidency in 1992, the Democratic Leadership Council.
"We think the American Dream is a better theory than supply-side economics," the president of the DLC, Bruce Reed, told reporters yesterday.
